FREEI.AND, March 12.
EDITOR TRIBUNE: —The fine showing
made by the Freeland Choir, at the late
Eisteddfod held hereon March Ist, has
induced a number of prominent singers
of this vicinity to organize a permanent
choir, as there is to be another Eistedd
fod held at Hazleton in the near future;
and in order to be prepared to take part
in it a meeting will be held in the Free
land school house Monday evening,
March 17th, 1890, at which all who are
interested are cordially invited.

order from other parts of the country,
who will speak on the aims and objects
of the organization, after which refresh
ments will be served to all present.

$9,175.05, paid out for benefits $8,704.58
and a balance in the treasury of $470,47.
The Young Men's T. A. & B. Society
of Freeland have again opened their
literary entertainments on Sunday even
ings to the public. The one held last
Sunday evening was very interesting,
a feature in connection with the exer
cises being referred questions to differ
ent members which are answered in
public, thus taking the place of lectures.
By this means all who are within hear
ing are entertained and instructed as
well as the person to whom the question
was referred. John Brady gave a very
exhaustive talk on "Why the govern
ment should own the railroads and tele
graph lines." He was followed by
others on different subjects after which
I). J. McCarthy was introduced and
made an eloquent appeal to the members
to study, and train the mind to think,
so as to enable them to take part in
public debate, as well as to conduct and
take part in the business of their socie
ties. The chair announced the pro
gramme for next meeting and adjourn
ment took place.
There is evidently a good time coming
as quite a number of Assemblies of the
Knights of Labor have been re-organized
within the post month and others are
paying more attention to the interest of
the order than formerly.
A branch of the I. C. B. U. of America
has been organized, at Dickson City,
near Scranton, to be known as the St.
Thomas Beneficial Society, with a mem
bership of fifty. The following officers

Timothy Hayes, vice-president; Thomas
Franey, secretary; Edward McNelis,
treasurer.
Messrs. Hayes and McNelis were
former residents of Drifton and members
of St. Patrick's Society, No. 103.
Machemleck Tribe, No. 221, I. O. of
R. M., is about one of tbe wealthiest
branches of any order of its kind ill this
section. Funeral and sick benefits lias
made heavy invacds on its treasury for
the past few months, but a reaction has
set in and in a short time all will be in
good running order again. The saying
"that tbe noble red man is dying out,
has no paralell in this tribe, as new
members are being added weekly.

FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1890.
Death of JoHepli 11. Lindsay.
On Sunday evening the residents
of Freeland were thrown into a state
of excitement by the news of the
death of Joseph H. Lindsay, which sad
event took place under peculiar circum
stances.
Peter Houston, a resident of Wash
ington street, while on his way home
from the Young Men's T. A. B. reading
room, about 9 p. m., had occasion to pass
by the rear of the hotel of Condy Mc-
C'ole, situated on the corner of South
and Washington streets, and when turn
ing the end of the building saw a man
lying underneath the porch. He went
into his own house, procured a lantern
and came out with a companion named
Peter McCarthy, examined the man,
and saw the star on his breast, which
they identified as belonging to the High
Constable. Upon closer examination
they discovered and identified him as
Joseph 11. Lindsay. Theinmatesof the
house were alarmed, and Mr. Houston
immediately notified T. A. Buckley,
Justice of the Peace, who repaired to
the spot, and empaneled the following
jury: Hugh Malloy, foreman, John H.
Haas, Joseph P. McDonald, Maurice
Ferry, J. C. Berner, James K. Boyle,
who viewed the body and conveyed it to
his home, and Dr. Button sent for
who made an examination of the body.
No marks of violence were found on him,
but his neck was broken. After subpten
ing a number of witnesses, and the hour
being late (10.45 p. m.) the jury adjourn
ed to meet at the Squire's office at 7
o'clock on Monday evening to take testi
mony.
At 7 p. m. Monday evening the jury
metand examined a nnmberof witnesses.
The evidence went to show that at about
half-past Bix o'clock on Sunday night
the deceased went into the house of
Condy McCole and remained there about
half an hour. He sat in the rear kitchen,
and when he went out moved backwards
in closing the door and fell back over the
porch, where he laid until he was found
by Houston, notwithstanding thatanum
ber of persons passed in and out of the
house during the time he lay there.
The jury, after hearing testimony,
rendered the following verdict: That
Joseph H. Lindsay came to his death in
Freeland Borough, County of Luzerne
and State of Pennsylvania, on March 9th,
1890, by a dislocation of the neck, caus
ed by falling over a porch, while in I he act
of closing a door, and that said death
resulted accidental.
The deceased was an old resident of
Freeland, having come here in 1868, long
before there was any talk of the tow n
being incorporated into a borough. He
was a prominent member of C. B. Coxe
Post 147, G. A. It., having served in the
28th Pa. Volunteers, as also of Mount
Horeb Lodge No. 257, I. O. of 0. F. and
of the Citizens' Hose Companv, all of
which organizations attended the funeral
in full regalia. At the last election ho
was elected High Constable of the bor
ough, and on March 2d sworn into office.
In Memory of St. Patrick.
Next Monday being the anniversary
of St. Patrick's day, Irishmen all over
the wofld will vie with each other in
honoring his memory. Here in this
Lehigh Coal region the custom hereto
fore of having a parade of the Irish
societies and others of Irish birth or
parentage, will be followed up on a more
elaborate scale this year. The societies
of Drifton, Freeland and Eckley, as well
as those who are of Irish birth or parent
age will celebrate the day in Freeland
by a public parade. The committee
having in charge the parade would urge
all to turn out and snow by their pres
ence, and gentlemanly behaviour, that
they revere the memory of their illus
trious Patron Saint. The parade will
leave St. Ann's Church, Woodside, at 11
o'clock, and parade over the route men
tioned last week. Let the ranks be
swelled on that day.
COHI Barge* for tlio Readitig.

The Mine DlMßHter.
[From the Pittsburg Dispateh.\
The mine disaster at Wilkes-Barre pre
sents another terrible example of the
perils of the underground industry.
The case of eight men imprisoned alive
in a burning mine, which has taken fire
from a gas explosion, is one of such fear
ful peril that the whole country will
share the suspense of their friends and
relatives until their fate is known. The
heroic conduct of one of the number,
who faced almost certain death on the
chance that he might warn the miners
in the more remote parts of the mine,
added to the tragic event an imposing
proof of the highest qualities of human
nature.
But while the magnificent self-sacri
fice lightens the gloom of the disaster, it
will not be just to overlook the fact that
the calamity is attributed to causes that
might have been prevented. Whether
the ventilation of the mine was sufficient
or whether inspection might not have
prevented the disaster, are questions
that will call for investigation, but the
presumption from the fact that the mine
was so full of gas as to cause the fire is
that some of the precautions were neg
lected. But, wholly aside from that ques
tion, the report leaves no doubt that the
explosion was produced by a neglect that
has heretofore cost many a life in the
mines. The gas was ignited by a naked
lamp. Had there been none but safety
tamps in the mine the disaster would not
have occurred. The naked lamp has
the agent in producing many a mine
fatality; and for the neglect which per
mits it to go anywhere near explosivo
gas both masters aud men nre generally
responsible.
This disaster, like many another mine
fatality, should enforce the lesson that
in such a hazardous industry no precau
tion which can add to the chances of
safety can be neglecled.

Citizens' Hose Company Meeting.
A special meeting of the members of
the Freeland Citizens' Hose Company
was held in their hall, Tuesday evening,
to take action in regard to the funeral of
| their late brother member, Joseph 11.
I Lindsay. A resolution to attend in a
body, in full uniform was agreed to,
after which a committee of three —con-
sisting of John M. Powell Ist, Wm. D.
Cowen and B. F. Davis —were appointed
to see the members of the borough
| Council and secure their consent and co
operation in making alterations in the
! Company's meeting room.
The Chief of Fire Department, Mr.
Philip Geritz, presented himself before
the meeting and stated that, as he was
I about leaving the borough on the Ist of
| April, he desired to offer his resignation
• us Chief and give them an opportunity to
name his successor. A motion was made
and carried that the resignation of Philip
| Geritz, as Chief of the 1? ire Department,
he accepted.
B. F. Davis was nominated as Chief,
to serve the unexpired term of Mr.
Geritz, subject to the approval of the
Borough Council.
It was agreed that all members be re
quested to be present at the next regular
meeting, which will take place on the
19th inst., as business of great import
ance will be laid before the members.
After a discussion as how to make the
company more efficient, by almost every
member present, the meeting adjourned,
having had one of the best attended
meetings for some months past.
Took a Fit.
While the funeral ceremonies of the
G. A. R. were being held over the j
remains of their late comrade Jos. H. !
Lindsay, at the Freeland cemetery yes- j
terday ? S. B. Van horn was taken sud- j
denly ill, and had it not been for Burgess
Cowen who promptly came to his aid it i
might have resulted seriously. The
presence of mind displayed by Mr. |
Cowen, on this occasion was highly i
commendable.
Life.
By request we publish the following,
composed by Jno. J. Brennan, Freeland:
I wish We were happy for ever.
Without any trouble or strife;
Situated in union together,
To share in the pleasures of life.
Life is much dearer than treasures,
There's no one can tell what it's worth;
It's greater than ail earthly pleasures,
Its value is not of this earth.
Many has pondered for ages
To find out the true meaning of life;
Their searches are transferred to pages,
To seek out the fruits of their life.
Now, Soloman the wisest of muukiud.
He could'nt tell what is the life;
There's no one to us can describe it.
It came from the breath of the Lord.
The value of life is in Heaven,
Where man is in union with God;
To reign in his Kingdom forever.
To enjoy the sweet pleasures of life.
Man is not wise, but ungrateful,
When he trades off the birthright of life;
For a treasure that's vain and must vanish,
He parts with the pleasures of life.
Life now is better than Brennan can tell,
For life is a pearl that never can die;
Life is a treasure that money can't buy,
And, the giver of life we should never deny, j
Weekly Coftl Report.
The anthracite coal trade presents no
new or interesting feature to note this
week. The colder weather along the
Atlantic coast during the past week in
creased the consumption, and conse
quently the demand for the domestic
sizes, but otherwise there has been no
change from the monotonous state that
has ruled the anthracite trade during the
past three months.
The Coal Trade Journal, in its weekly
review of the state of the anthracite trade,
says : "The reports which we receive of
the hard coal trade show no great change
from those of a week ago; it has experi
enced no particular reason for changing,
and one can hardly anticipate any in the
general trade conditions for sometime to
come; the companies are acting with ex
treme caution in regard to the output,
and this is the feature of most importance
just now in connection with this industry.
Coal is not wanted at present, in any
great quantity, and therefore the output
is down to a minimum; the price is also
down to a very low figure compared with
those ruling at this time in the last year
or two; some of the sales which come to
our notice are on a basis equal to that of
the so-called low figures of 1879. The
trade will no doubt take a start for the
better when the shipping season of 1890
opens, and there may be a good average*
year's business done, in spite of all the
drawbacks which have been encountered
in the early part of this year—due to the
mild winter. At New York the dealers
report a trifle more doing, as the stocks
are depleted from day to day, but there
is no animation in the trade, and transac
tions at the rate of $3.50 or less are heard
of for stove coal by the cargo at theload
j ing points. Anthracite is selling very low
in the West; the stocks carried over will
depend largely on the climatic conditions
j during the month of March; our Chicago
| advices are that anthracite drifts along as
- previously reported, with the possible ex
ception that there is a stiffer tone to the
larger sizes; there is a scarcity of these
sizes, without any immediate prospect of
further receipts, and the disposition to
hold all there is in stock at higher figures
than now current is growing and shippers
are cautious in accepting orders therefor;
the small sizes, stove and chestnut, com
i prise the larger portion of the present
stocks on hand. There is great diversity
I of opinion among the Missouri River
I jobbers as to the course of trade after
I the Ist of April, many affecting to be
i lieve that May will see quite a heavy
movement of coal to points on and be
yond the Missouri, from the coal in stock
at lake ports; good coal burning weather
for one month would set everything in
good shape for the opening of the active
season of 1890."
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
March 1, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 439,435 tons,
compared with 470,374 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, a decrease of
30,939 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
was 4,232,716 tons compared with 4,7G9,-
024 tons for the same period last year, a
decrease of 530,309 tons .—Ledger.'
